Circ J. 2002 Feb;66(2):211-2. doi: 10.1253/circj.66.211.

Abstract

A 16-year-old Japanese woman with infective endocarditis was admitted to hospital. An echocardiography exhibited a perivalvular pseudoaneurysm just under the mitral valve. Left ventriculography demonstrated that the aneurysm had a small neck and dyskinetic motion with oppression to the coronary sinus and right coronary artery.
